Wrong, unless you are facing the front of the bike. US flag goes on the right. Easy way to remember, when the bike is parked on its jiffy stand, the US flag is always the higher of the two. If three flags are flown the US flag goes in the middle.

Hey A$$ H@t (yes, you sooie)...keep your degrating posts to yourself. I'm guessing you're not american, if you don't feel enough to post a decent comment about honoring our own flag.

Now, place of honor's always to the Right, as other "contributing" forum members already recommended.

one other thing not mentioned, if you are running 2 (or more) flags, the us flag should not be a smaller size than any other flag

Flying the American flag upside down is a legal recognized distress signal. So don't ride on by (in your ignorance ) thinking it's automatically someone being disrespectful.

Well there I go, exposing my ignorance again! I'd always heard/thought an upside-down flag was dis-respectful. Guess I should bone-up on my flag etiquette....

As a reasonably intelligent person...I confess ingorance on many subjects, so I genuinely appreciate being corrected (as long as it's done with respect). Thanks!
